**Who should not buy it?**

Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 5.0/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 2.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (4.5/10).

**How heavy is it really?**

The brand gives 360 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
